Arlene Lev's Take on Transition and Beyond

Informed by his own personal journey, Reid Vanderburgh has written an informative and comprehensive book, outlining issues not previously addressed in the literature, most notably post-transition concerns. Family issues, including the complex identity struggles of young gender-variant people, are addressed, as are intimate couple relationships, recovery from addictions, and employment challenges. Crossing over, from client to therapist, from a medical model to a psychospiritual one, Vanderburgh respectfully outlines the process of transition, not just for the transgender clients, but for the therapists who serve them. – Arlene Istar Lev, author of Transgender Emergence (Haworth Press, 2004).
